The present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of teaching religious-based spiritual concepts on children's hope. In this study, a single-case experimental design (A-B type or frequent direct observation) with one-month follow-up was used. For this purpose, after purposeful available sampling, three female students of the third grade elementary school who scored higher than 8 in the hopelessness scale of Kazdin & et. al (1983) were selected through Purposeful sampling and then received religious-based spiritual interventions in 13 45-minut sessions. In order to collect the data, Kazdin’ s hopelessness scale was used in three stages of baseline, intervention and follow-up; and finally, data were analyzed using graphical analysis and improvement percentage. The results of the improvement percentage in all three participants after the intervention showed a significant increase in their hope scores, which is still significant despite a three percent decrease in the one-month follow-up period. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that teaching religious-based spiritual concepts has a significant positive effect on increasing children's hope.

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of teaching philosophy to adolescents in philosophical community of inquiries using the stories of classical Persian texts on development of aesthetic beliefs and moral judgments of high school students. The research method is quasi-empirical design. The statistical population of the study is the students of the junior high school in Tabriz City, who were selected from 5 subdistricts of district 4 of Tabriz, and two schools were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and one class from each school. The Taghizadeh and Babaei Aesthetic Beliefs Questionnaire (2017) and the Dorgandasin and Miravarama Ethical Judgment Questionnaire (1998) were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance) were used for data analysis. Based on the results of the study, it can be said that the mean of the experimental group with the value of etiquette (0. 61) in the variable of aesthetic beliefs and the value of etiquette (0. 322) in the variable of moral judgment is higher than the mean of the control group and that they are significantly different. The Philosophical Teaching Program for Adolescents through the Philosophical Community Inquiry has a positive impact on adolescents' aesthetic beliefs and moral judgment. Therefore, it can be concluded that through teaching philosophy to adolescents, one can strengthen their aesthetic beliefs and the power of moral judgment.

Themes analysis was done through in-depth study and analysis, coding and interpretation and simultaneous inference of data and classification of components in a deductive manner. Examples of politeness to mother were extracted from the Islamic perspective and accordingly, examples of environmental etiquette were deduced and classified into seven components. Based on the results of the qualitative section, a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was developed. The content validity of the questionnaire was determined by experts, and its reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha to be at 0. 908. The level of agreement of experts in the fields of Islamic sciences, education and environmental education, with the proper relationship between environmental etiquette examples and components was measured by this questionnaire based on 30 responses. According to the findings, the components of environmental etiquette were as follows: Respect, Benevolence, Adaptability, Support, Compassion, Gratitude, and Satisfaction.

The present study aims at investigating the role of internal and external religious orientations on the goals and aspirations of lives in university students.

There was a positive and significant relationship between external religious orientation and extrinsic aspirations; but there was no significant relationship between external religious orientation and intrinsic aspirations and self-transcendence. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the internal religious orientation was able to predict the score of intrinsic aspirations; the external and internal religious orientations were able to predict self-transcendence aspirations, and the external religious orientation was able to predict extrinsic aspirations.

In today's society where the media play an active role in changing cultures, preparing students for active engagement with the media is one of the important tasks of the formal education system, which requires the development of a comprehensive media literacy curriculum.

The sentence was considered as the analysis unit. The compiled verses and sentences were categorized using components of media literacy, namely Access and Use, Analysis, Evaluation, Production and Active Treatment with media messages.
